For those looking for a new mattress, I'd highly recommend Thr Mattress Underground[0]. It's an unbelievably comprehensive resource for mattress reviews and discussion, and goes into great detail about the mattress industry in general (and the "disruptors" including Casper, among others).

i am on my fourth mattress, i took advantage of the 3 - 6 month trial periods with these new online delivery mattress companies. :) if any more of these keeps popping up, i could probably have a free mattress for whole 2 years! i'm sorry but i'm just very picky i guess. :/ i've tried so far: casper, leesa, lull, and ghostbed. honestly, lull is the best one so far for me. it has the most tempurpedic style cushy feeling where your body seem to melt. i was most disappointed with ghostbed with casper not too behind. leesa was also good too imo. next i want to try is purple. gotta love this new trend, hope there are more of these in other categories.

  This, IMO, is extreme. I know it's nothing illegal and the cost of doing business, but you've tried four mattresses already. You're costing all of these companies real money with seemingly no real motivation to purchase the mattress as you already have yet another mattress on your list. You might benefit from reading up on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secretary_problem and I hope these mattresses stores create some sort of a shared blacklist of customers to prevent freeloaders like you. This is how the average consumer loses generous return policies from places like REI and Costco.

    There's nothing wrong with giving products a free trial and returning those you're unsatisfied with during the normal trial period. That's why it exists. Unlike the secretary problem, the parent can re-buy any mattress at anytime, and one person buying a mattress doesn't impact another's ability to buy the same model. Additionally the decision can be deferred until after trying many / every model to make a better / optimal purchase. REI taking its unlimited return policy down to one year was not from normal trial usage but from a select few returning gear after years of usage.

    I felt pretty guilty and remorseful after returning ONE mattress that I did not sleep well on at all during the trial period, and then I found out about the incredible markup on these mattresses (at the price I paid, the markup was well over 5x). It's hard for me to see your comment as anything other than virtue signalling.

    well, yes, i felt bad at first but then again, i wasn't able to try any of these out to begin with and i'm not buying something unless i try them out. btw, i have already purchased lull and gave it to my son so it's not like i'm just returning everything i buy. if anything, i do believe this is the future of e-commerce. it is a great way to shop.
